    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole
Credit: Hector Sanchez
Casseroles are a Southern staple, but that doesn't mean they're the easiest recipes to whip up on busy weeknights. With long chill times, multiple layers, and potential hours in the oven, casseroles are sometimes better made a day ahead. Skillet dinners are extremely easy to make, but they don't always serve up the comfort of a casserole. Enter: Skillet casseroles. These skillet casserole recipes are quick, easy, and oh-so-cozy. Skillet breakfast casseroles like quiche and frittatas are extremely versatile, as you can serve them at breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. But you can make more traditional dinner casseroles, like chicken pot pie and lasagna, in your skillet, too. Kid-friendly favorites like mac and cheese and Frito pie will become staples in your house. We use our cast-iron skillets to make recipes from breakfast to dessert, so it's a no-brainer that we'd create skillet casserole recipes.
